This book is designed to make work feel as satisfying as play . . . to help you identify what parts of work are blissful and what parts need other supports." -- From the Introduction Who has not, at some point, looked around his or her workspace and felt decidedly uninspired, de-energized, or distracted by what is a less than optimal environment?

Just the simple act of relocating a phone, adding a splash of color, or incorporating better lighting can make a valuable difference.
